<P>
A specialized <code>ObjectOutputStream</code> that stores class description
 information in a <code>ClassCatalog</code>.  It is used by
 <code>SerialBinding</code>.

 <p>This class is used instead of an <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/ObjectOutputStream.html" title="class or interface in java.io"><CODE>ObjectOutputStream</CODE></A>, which it
 extends, to write a compact object stream.  For writing objects to a
 database normally one of the serial binding classes is used.  <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/SerialOutput.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><CODE>SerialOutput</CODE></A> is used when an <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/ObjectOutputStream.html" title="class or interface in java.io"><CODE>ObjectOutputStream</CODE></A> is needed along
 with compact storage.  A <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/ClassCatalog.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><CODE>ClassCatalog</CODE></A> must be supplied, however, to
 stored shared class descriptions.</p>

 <p>The <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/ClassCatalog.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><CODE>ClassCatalog</CODE></A> is used to store class definitions rather than
 embedding these into the stream.  Instead, a class format identifier is
 embedded into the stream.  This identifier is then used by <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/SerialInput.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><CODE>SerialInput</CODE></A> to load the class format to deserialize the object.</p>
